Financial Reports

The City of Alamo Heights manages its finances through accounting, purchasing and billing functions for the proper maintenance of city assets. The City accomplishes the management of these functions through the use of payroll, accounts payable, and other various billing mechanisms as mandated by Federal, State and City laws. The Administrative and Finance Department is also responsible for assisting the City Manager and City Council in compiling the annual operating budget for City Council consideration.

The City Charter requires that the City issue an annual audit, made by certified public accountants. Such auditor’s report to the City Council must be accessible to the public or for publication.

Local government transparency is an important standard the City continues to strive for by providing financial information on the website. The City has received the Texas Comptroller Leadership Award for Local Government Transparency since 2010. The Texas Transparency website is a one-stop source that collects all available information on local government finances in our state, including the existing and proposed debt of cities, counties, school and hospital districts and hundreds of special-purpose districts throughout Texas.
